I hope all the Pens fans enjoyed their time in Columbus. Haven't heard any horror stories from Blue Jackets fans so that's a plus. Feels like both sides are kind of hoping for a small rivalry to develop.

check the CBJ thread on HFboards...we are the rudest fans ever and all their season ticket holders will never buy tickets again!!!!

haha, funny how the rudeness of the visiting fans seems to be related to the drubbing the home team takes.

I talked to a number of CBJ fans including season ticket holders and they are just hoping its motivation for the team from here on out. No real issues with any Penguins fans either. However, if Columbus can put it together and put a consistently good product on the ice don't expect to take over Nationwide every year.

I think the whole atmosphere of taking over "enemy territory" mixed with the fact that pens fans were in the area hours before hand, taking over bars, mixed with the fact that many people were spending the night and didn't have to drive created a very big partying element...kind of like a Mardi Gras kind of feeling.

Combine that with a game that was over before the first period was done and an entire third period that was fairly boring - "idle hands do the devil's work" may apply.

Anyone see what happened in section 206 before the game? I was in 207 and couldn't really see anything but some older CBJ fan in a green jersey was just yelling at some college-aged pens fans like right before the game started. Then he left and didn't come back. No clue what his deal was.

Look at HF boards. Reading CBJ's thing is kind of pathetic really, just basically saying the same generic hate over and over. Also, from what I gather, if you weren't old enough to be in college, or are in college now and look young. Just pony up and admit that you're a bandwagon fan.
